The details of the data and data sources are provided in the right hand column and

Maps
A map of islands and reefs is provided within Country Profiles as a downloadable
image file. Reef, island and many other data can be viewed through the Geographic
Information System ' Pacific ReefGIS'.
To provide the best possible representation of coral reef locations and extent,
the images presented here use a combination of several sets of available data; coral
reef lines and polygons (where available) illustrate the location and extent of
reefs respectively, and the
Millennium Coral Reef Mapping project
has provided information (for most Pacific Island Countries and Territories) on
the area and depth of coral reefs presented here, in three depth zones; shallow,
mixed reef, deep reef.
Photos
Provided here is a selection of photos which, where possible, illustrate reef fisheries,
reef-related livelihoods and reef biodiversity in each Pacific Island Country or
Territory. This website also contains a large collection of photos and other images
which can be searched and accessed through the
Database.
